WELCOME BACK GALÁPAGOS RAIL!!!

Honestly when I hear people say “not receiving gender affirming surgeries will make me feel suicidal” I hear the same thing as if someone said “if I don’t get a nose job I’ll feel suicidal”

It’s a physical insecurity that wouldn’t exist in a vacuum. I’m sorry that you were influenced to feel this way, but surgery will not fix something that is rooted in self-hatred. If you change it with surgery, you will find another insecurity to fixate on within a week.

Also, can we talk about how rebranding gender affirming surgery as some life-saving procedure is just promoting and glamorising a very misogynistic and corrupt industry.

When trans people say, "Kill terfs", "rape terfs", they're using their "transness" as an excuse to be violent to women and everyone is accepting it simply because they're trans and misogynistic.

Don't forget, Trump was the one who tried to ban TikTok in his first term, and Republicans voted to pass the TikTok Ban Bill.

He didn't save it. He just flipflopped when he realised it made him look bad with young people.

And now TikTok are sucking up to Trump and effectively acting as an ad section for him.

Don't fall for it.

"you can't find me annoying or the conservatives win!" is an opinion a disturbing number of people have

the “block op they’re a terf” movement was so thorough that now none of the libfems have any idea what radical feminism is about. I just saw a post saying that we enforce rigid gender roles and most of us are white like…not only are there a LOT of radfems of color (including myself), our whole thing is abolishing gender while acknowledging sex based oppression

I hate it when trans people on TikTok pull out that stages of genocide thing and say oh this is happening to us currently right now! As if being called sir by a waiter and JK Rowling tweeting stuff and being told that children shouldn’t have access to incredibly dangerous and life changing medical care is in anyway the same thing as an actual genocide.

These people need to read up on history and recognise that people not wanting to see a dick in a woman’s locker room is a fucking minuscule problem to have in contrast to what persecuted groups have experienced now and throughout history.

trans activists: cis gays are a disease

trans activists: i hate cis f*ggots

trans activists: cis lesbians deserve to be raped

republicans: i agree. let’s re-ban same-sex marriage

trans activists: OH MY GOD DO THE TERFS SEE WHAT THEY’VE DONE DO THEY SEE THE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT

They've been writing "OP is a TERF" on my posts for 10 years. 10 years. I check their bio and they are 30 years old now. It's not a new generation of idiots, it's the same idiots. They have not matured at all. They're 30 and they still fight against the feminazi boogeyman. "OP is a TERF". And every time, all I take from it is: "OP is a feminist who doesn't believe sexist stereotypes are identities and that upsets me somehow." Or "OP is a feminist who doesn't believe in gendered souls and that upsets me somehow." Or simply "OP is a feminist and that upsets me somehow."

During those 10 years, I have not seen the emergence of any other acronym used to designate any other group that is critical of the gender fandom. No "TECA" trans exclusionary conservative american. No "TELM" trans exclusionary leftist man. No "TEC" trans exclusionary celebrity. No "TEP" trans exclusionary parents. No "TEMP" trans exclusionary medical professionals. None of that. Therefore, I have not seen threats and insults that are specifically tailored towards any of these demographics. I have, however, seen a lot of "art" depicting the supposed radical feminist stinky vulvas, a lot of threats detailing how we should be raped and have our breasts cut off and a lot of signs with hanged women on them.

So, it's 2025, and what have the big bad radical feminists done really? What crimes have been committed? 10 years of screeching and crying and panicking over a branch of feminism, and for what? What have "TERFs" done? They wrote words on the internet? They printed stickers? Signed petitions? What? You decided to reduce their feminism to "trans exclusionary" but it looks like they've had their hands full with all the other issues that women face. Of course you were never really scared of radical feminists. People don't harass and threaten those they fear. You just enjoy attacking women. And for 10 years you've been pretending to be oppressed by feminists, like a fucking incel, and you've got nothing to show for it. The jig is up. "op is a terf" is a laughable catchphrase and nothing more.

Loneliness, when experienced by women, is treated like a joke. The stereotypical image of the crazy cat lady, the spinster, the old maid, has been mocked for centuries. A warning to other women not to be too selective, too cautious, too discerning, too demanding, or else you'll end up like her. A laughing stock.

But when men are "lonely" (ie. when women become more aware as a class and won't engage with manchildren), suddenly it's an epidemic- a crisis requiring analysis by sociologists and psychologists and hundreds and hundreds of articles dissecting why these poor men are so lonely, as though their loneliness reaches some special depth unknown to women.

My detransition correlated directly with my capacity for self-deception and my ability to trust my own mind. As I lost the ability to lie to myself, and gained autonomy from those who sought to change my beliefs about myself, I became more aware of the ways transition harmed me, of the fact that it was not the thing that “saved my life” as I had previously thought, but rather a coping mechanism that prevented me from actually changing my life for the better.
